The Irish newspapers and the great American organ hitherto so hostile had begun to change, and in a short time all were sailing in the general current of praise and support which Irishmen all the world over had offered to the young and energetic Charles Stewart Parnell. Parnell voyaged home in the good ship Baltic, preparations were being made by the people in Ireland to give him a truly royal reception, using the accustomed phrase " royal " to denote the magnifi- cent ovation that awaited him at Queenstown, Cork, and throughout Ireland.

English statesmen, though they have a blundering police to serve them, are not so blind as to think the gentlemen whom the Herald alludes to are of serious injury to her. Morgan’s cartoon provides a Darwinian reading of the peers who are stuck in a kind of gothic, primordial mud while the moon struggles to break through the ominous clouds. Some of the rhymes are full (years/ears) and some are only partial (clergymen/thereupon). “Adam’s Curse” is an extraordinary poem; though it was written early in Yeats’s career (appearing in his 1904 collection In the Seven Woods), and though its stylistic simplicity is somewhat atypical for Yeats, it easily ranks among his best and most moving work.

Scientists think that the real world approximates equations. "Anyone who considers arithmetical methods of producing random digits is, of course, in a state of sin." "The optimist says the glass is half full, the pessimist say the glass is half empty, the engineer says the glass is too large, the optometrist says the glasses are half-price and the thirsty guy says: 'Hey, who drank my water ?'"
